It is. I had to drop the spring down to a M110 to get it inside the limits. No idea what it came stock with. The hop unit is a bit strange, it's like a M4 and P90 hop put together and the inner barrel has a fair bit of movement even when assembled so I pushed an O-ring into the space between the hop unit and the inner barrel to hold it a bit more secure. I had to glue the nub to the hop arm as it kept getting stuck in place when winding the hop off. Gearbox looks to be a standard V2 but without a quick change spring and all the internals appear pretty much standard except the nozzle which is a long brass thing. Really should have measured it. Not sure what's going on with the rails on this - I had to really force the angled grip on and my KAC style rail covers just will not fit at all - it's like the rails are ever so slightly wider than all my other RIFs.

The mock charging handle is a bit loose because the spring is about 3-5mm too short so it has some play. I have no idea how to take that apart so it's staying as is for now.

It was shooting hot for me but I'd only ever chrono'd it so assumed it was a tight spring due to zero use. Hope you're happy with it, looks great with the changes, did you empty the Pmag for the battery or reroute the wiring?

Think I'd only ever fitted an RDS to the top rail so can't comment on the rest of them.

I remember watching Forgotten weapons vids about his AR57 & apparently the RS charging handle was dodgy... I should have charged more for the realism 😉

Yeah was shooting at 400fps when I first tested it.

The mag was just a spare high cap I had laying around so I pulled the internals out and superglued the pin back in to give some rigidity to the top of the mag. Wiring is still into the mag as it's just the better place for it tbh. If I wanted to make the profile smaller, I could get a short mag and put a peq box size battery in there.

Wrong stock, pistol grip and magnifier but it's a work in progress of the new Royal Marine MCX in 300 Blackout. Based on a VFC.

Are the RM using the MCX?

Yes.

 

12.5” & 9” variants, though not any photos of the 9 in use yet.

Hoping to finally take this thing out to a game day later this month.

TM G17 Gen5 with agency slide and Acro

couple more bits to do to it. But it’s there in terms of internals. Just needs an extended slide catch and Big A frame.

We L86 LSW conversion from a WE L85 using a genuine SUSAT, and then another WE L85 alongside a genuine deac L85 (A1 lower, A2 upper, A1 bolt)

 

 

[ButcherBill]

Where on earth did you find a deac L85?

[Lyndication]

It's a standard A1, they just act like deacs

A friend bought one up to show off, it was a recent purchase. He said that it might have been a pre production sample that was partially modernised for testing and then deactivated once it served its purpose, but that's third hand info at this point that I haven't been able to verify. They are very rare and he wouldn't give me an exact number on how much it cost, but it was well north of 5k

 

The SUSAT is also genuine of course and in very very good condition

A pal gave me his handguard to build an upper for him so decided to build a clone of the kyle lamb rifle to try for a trade for a gun he has I want lol.. yea not working so will be getting pulled apart.

 

G&p a2 lower ,g&p upper , g&p outer and steel kac fh , g&p lipo tube / car15 stock. Is meant to have a g&p storm grip but didn't fit it. Systema gearbox with shs high torque motor , still needed bits doing to fully finish but don't think it looks to bad.

Snap! AEG or GBBR? 1J or DMR? (mine is an MWS based DMR)

GBB, it's based on a VFC V2 with a silly lil twist...

 

It's a BASR!

Oooooooh, you got the Maple Leaf kit? Very nice! They don't do one for the MWS or I would've built one myself, but not getting a different platform because the GBBR magazine tax is hefty and I already have... 10 normal MWS mags and 8 stubby MWS mags. Don't want to have to buy more.

[pyromancer6]

Won't be getting run like this as you can't get the handguard off to access the battery when the muzzle-break the QD suppressor sits on is threaded but I thought it looked pretty neat. As much as I love the G36E with the bipod I think the G36K lengh is the goldilocks of the bunch - just right.

Wow that's a lot of mags. 

 

Yeah I built it out like this to share mags between my bullpup and the sniper. The ARBA upper is surprisingly consistent in terms of FPS, hoping it does well on the field later this week. Should be ready to rock and roll but you never know.
